Summer Hit Machine

Jérôme Vandewattyne

Boogie punk rockers Chevalier Surprise enter a plush Ardennes studio to cover Machiavel’s Fly. Behind the glass: Marius, eccentric label manager chasing a second “Summer Hit Machine” crown — and losing him- self in Elvis-haunted nights. In the shadows, his alter ego Allan plots the band’s collapse, aided by Delphine, a social media nerd with a killer smile and a sharper agenda. Fame, sabotage, and the absurd ma- chinery of music and film, served as a dark comedy.
